lyrics

She's seventeen, a libertine, if only
I promised her I'd call her from inside
She's plasticine, a rash to me and she owns me
Whoever said that's afraid of the facts and the lies
An odyssey from you to me, an omen
A magic so black it cracks and explodes in your eyes
"Break on through," a brave man said, if only
I prefer the words of a shaman: "I'm alive"

I'm alive, institutionalised

So you think it makes you right
If you leap into the fight with a hard-on
Man it only proves that you're asking
To get fucked from behind
And if you think they're trying to cheat you now
When all they want are the smart bonds
Ah man you'd be a sucker to join 'em
When the guns are fired

So arise, institutionalised
